I'm unsure if theses work. Has anyone tried any of these or at least heard about the Skin White Beauty Cream, Skin White Body Milk, or Ultra White Skin Bleach Cream? Please share your thoughts, thanks.

Hey girlie,
Well I used it like before it was forumulated with sepi-white. I have purchases the skin lightening cream( for the face) and the body lotion. The ingredients were like kojic acid, licroice, and other natural ingredients. The cream was very oily and didn't aborb in my skin. It had a good scent though. I didn't see any lightening though but it might work since it has sepi-white.

Thanks RedDiamond. I have read on the site that someone else had also mentioned the oiliness. I tried emailing the company twice a couple of weeks back, but no response. So it didn't lighten your skin even a little?

Well I don't think but I wish I did. But I do think the sepiwhite formula might be worth a try. If you want to just go a head and try and let me know how it works for you. Lol

OK, will do. I'm thinking about trying sepiwhite during the fall/winter season when it finally cools off over here.

So, I heard the crème is a hot pinkish/reddish color? How does it look and smell? How oily was it, like could you see the oil above the crème in the jar?

I have read reviews on Ultra White and few of them were favorable, it was said that the ingrediants were the same as what you can get in a hair care store so I gues stayed away from it, it's kind of pricy too

Thanks Dessaml, yeah I think the price is too steep for the lack of quality then.

Yes, I tried it. Bought two jars!
It did nothing for me.
Thought I was going to get a cheaper Sepiwhite product.
The before and after pictures looked nice, I mean they nick named it
The Michael jackson cream. Lol
I thought I was getting something powerful.
No such luck, I used half a jar and knew it was not working.
The other jar I didn't use at all, threw both of them out.

Wow. I just found this product on Amazon today to read the some of the reviews and the ratings were very low. Nikkicute I know you must have been mad when you noticed it was ineffective, did you try to get your money back?

I was real disappointed. I bought them when they sold on eBay, never even thought about getting my money back. I should have, I just went on to something else. I like trying new creams and serums.

I have tried this as welll about a year and a half ago. Not sure if this is when it had sepiwhite in it, but I tried both the normal and the super strength formulas. Unfortunately none of them gave any results. They really hyped it up on the website, so it was a real let down.

I know. I bought it hook line and sinker. I liked the way the jar looked with the little lady on it. Lol It was cute, I fell for the cute jar. Silly me.
I mean they named it the Michael Jackson cream.
I'm like whoa! I guess I'm about to knock the black right off me.
Nice eBay feedback, even had before and after pics. Oh I can't lose.
Sike! It did zelch! :confused:
It didn't work at all, not even half a shade lighter.
Two jars in the trash! $100 bucks down the drain.

Man, that's hurtful. And I was even considered trying it right before I posted this question, I'm glad I didn't. That's too much money to waste if it doesn't even work. Probably also diluted active ingredients, but just enough to post on the label. Seem like it is mostly diluted with oil. Why is is pink/reddish? One of the customers had mentioned this, and I thought that was wiered.

My two creams were completely different colors, one was pink and one was beige/off white. Maybe the seller doesn't have the formula down right. You could clearly see the sepiwhite or whatever powder ingredient in the cream, it just was not blended well at all and I only found that out after I bought the cream.
I thought since it was suppose to be a strong cream perhaps that was extra in there that's why I could see so much of it but nope, nothing! I don't think an ingredient can penetrate the skin when it's floating in the cream.
I thought hey I've got an alternative to Fair and Flawless because the cream dose have sepiwhite and the jars are bigger, you could use that cream for both your face and body. You could always e-mail them and ask have they improved the formula? The Amazon reviews are so so. I would have loved for that product to work! The before and after pics were not bad and they looked real.
It looked like the skin lightening cream I tried to make. I bought a jar of cream and arbutin from skinactives.com you could see the arbutin in the cream. Needless to say my homemade cream didn't work. I mixed it the best I could but it didn't work. I didn't throw it away thought I kept using it because I love how their canvas base cream feels. It's the creamiest of creams.:)

Thanks Nikkicute. I tried twice emailing them, the first time they never emailed me back. The second time, which was 2 weeks later, they sent me an email but when I opened it, it was blank.. except for one word at the bottom which said "test". I was like it should be easy to send an email. Maybe I should try contacting them through Amazon instead.
So your saying that both of your creams, which were of the same thing, had two different colors? And that the actives were not properly melted? Yeah, that sounds like a formula problem. I wonder why they didn't melt and mix properly? I never formulated anythnig yet, but have been reading some material about how to. I remember all of my containers of bio claire would have some chrystal-like pieces in it that I felt as I rubbed it on. At first I thought it was an accidental error with just one, but I later noticed all of my jars that I had bought were like that, and I was like is this Hq?
But, yeah, it seems like they do not blend and melt their ingredients properly and maybe that is why it does not work. I did see a before and after photo of a lady on the site which looked a lot like the owner on the about me page in their site. But, that was the only one I saw, as people can easily tamper with the photos to make them appear lighter.

Your welcome! :D
Forget about them if they can't answer e-mails.
Yep, both creams two different colors. The thing is I didn't open the second jar until I noticed the first one wasn't working. I stood right by the window, in the sunlight after I took the second jar out of the fringe and looked at them. I remember it being advertised as new and improved because they added bearberry extract.
In my mind, bearberry looks like blueberries that's why one looked pinkish. Since the new and improved formula had bearberry, I thought I got one jar of the original formula and one jar of the new formula. I used the pinkish one first.
Like I said it was not formulated right, not well blended at all. Looking back maybe I should have pop that jar in the microwave and melted it myself, mix, then put it back in the fringe and see what happens.
Fair and Flawless is in Westbury New York, I like their products.
African Queen is in Bronx, New York, I liked their products.
So when I saw this cream and they are in Brooklyn, New York I'm thinking all the good skin lightening creams are coming out of New York.
Well they must be making their cream at the end of block because IT SUCKED!! LOL!! Boooooooo

Lmao... they making their creams at the end of the block. I was wondering that too about New York has many skin lightening companies there, some good but some not so good.

Hi there , the Spa Basin lightening bleach used to work exremely good , until they cahaged the formula a year ago , since then , all it does is make your face darker , because it burns it . So now I tried something called Tonique , two hours after applying it , my face was already lighter . TWO HOURS!! It was 99.00 , but I had nothing to lose . By the way , I'm Mexican , olive skinned , but my face and nechk were darker from sun damage , dark brown actually . Two hours later my face was 25 % lighter
